Recommendations for Dry, Itchy Scalp

Based on your experience with Sea Kelp Bioferment and your need for simple, water-based solutions for a dry, itchy, sensitive, acne-prone scalp, here are a few ingredients that can help moisturize and soothe:

• MOIST72™: This ingredient provides intense, long-lasting hydration to the skin and scalp, helping to reduce dryness and peeling. It is easily soluble in water. You can mix MOIST72™ at a concentration of 2-5% in water. Add it to the water when the temperature is below 40°C.

• Allantoin: Known for its soothing and anti-irritation properties, Allantoin is beneficial for scalp care, helping to reduce irritation and support tissue repair. It is water-soluble, though its solubility is limited to about 0.5% in water at room temperature (25°C). You can mix Allantoin powder directly into water up to this concentration.

• Pep-Calm™ (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8): This ingredient is effective in reducing redness and irritation on the skin. It is soluble in water and can be mixed into your water-based solution at a concentration of 1.0-2.5%.

How to Use Simply:

You can create a simple scalp treatment by mixing one or more of these ingredients into purified water. For example, you could try mixing 3% MOIST72™ with water. Or, you could combine 0.5% Allantoin with water. For added soothing, you could include 1% Pep-Calm™ in either mixture.

Apply the mixture directly to your scalp after washing or whenever it feels dry and itchy. Since you have sensitive, acne-prone skin, it is always recommended to start with a lower concentration and test on a small area of your scalp first to ensure there is no adverse reaction.

These ingredients are water-soluble and can provide moisturizing and soothing benefits without needing complex formulations, aligning with your preference for simple solutions.
